What is an induction management system?
An induction management system is a streamlined platform that allows companies to onboard their workers digitally, store important documents, manage safety procedures, keep on top of licences, track expiring items and more.
Challenges of managing inductions manually
Managing inductions manually can be a huge headache. Extensive administrative work is required and is not only time consuming for your workforce but also highly inefficient. Mistakes can easily slip through the cracks and result in costly errors for your business.
As an example, a manual induction might have been completed for a driver operating heavy vehicles at a trucking company. If any vital documentation was missed within the process, such as heavy vehicle licence being expired, it would put you and your company at serious risk and potentially liable if anything went wrong. Manual inductions can easily result in errors like this and it’s simply not worth the risk.
Manual inductions can also result in missed or misinformation. Training and important information might not be communicated correctly or uniformly across teams, and WHS standards can slip.

How the induction management process works
Induction management processes are carefully tailored to an organisations industry, safety training, job functions and location.
Altora’s streamlined digital induction software is the perfect tool for ensuring efficiency throughout your entire induction process.
Step 1: Create the induction programme
Your induction programme can be created following Altora’s Induction Checklist and then simply mirrored in our software. Once you have your initial induction flow, you can amend it to be role or function specific. If you already have a process or existing induction content you can mirror and upload it to Altora’s software.
Step 2: Assign inductions
Assign inductions for relevant parties. Users can be notified via email with their login details and can access their tasks you’ve assigned for them. Altora’s software allows workers to experience a versatile and engaging training experience with various formats available such as PowerPoints, quizzes, videos and induction courses.
Step 3: Complete pre-start requirements
From training to documentation, licences, certifications and important WHS items and safety policies, ensure all pre-start requirements have been completed before your staff begin work.
Step 4: Conduct role or site-specific inductions
Role or site-specific inductions allow you to provide a tailored onboarding experience and ensure your workers and contractors are well-informed and trained for their role.
Step 5: Track progress & compliance
Receive notifications updating you whether your workers have completed their inductions or not, along with being notified of any missing or incomplete requirements. This process helps you ensure nothing slips through the cracks and your workforce remain compliant.
Step 6: Manage Ongoing Training & Renewals
Ongoing training and refreshers are a fantastic way of helping your workers get the most out of their position, allowing you to identify any missing skills or knowledge and ensuring compliance throughout their tenure.
Step 7: Report & Audit Records
Altora’s system has excellent reporting tools, allowing you to pull up critical information, worker and company data and insights with ease and always stay audit ready.
Step 8: Continuously Review & Improve the Process
Continuous improvements to your induction process help you evolve your processes, keep on top of changing WHS requirements and industry standards, and identify any gaps in your onboarding and missing compliance items.

Industries that benefit from an induction management system
All industries benefit from an induction management system. In particular we find industries that operate within HRCW especially benefit.
HRCW industries include sectors such as construction, engineering, energy, utilities, mining, supply chain, labour hire and more.
This is due to the high-risk nature of their work where accidents can happen. To minimise risk there are important steps managers need to take to ensure they keep their workers as safe as possible. Risk management processes need to be documented, signed and stored in a safe system such as Altora’s.
Here are the HRCW activities that need to follow strict risk management processes to keep their workforce safe and their business compliant:
